Hi, I need to buy a soldering iron and electronic solder for an electronics project, but I have no Maplin near me - does anyone know of anywhere else that sells them?
B&Q have them, but only big sizes, made for plumbing etc.

Maplin do mail order through their website. They have frequent sales and send out a flier with offers and vouchers on.
Also Rapid electronics.
Also try RF Potts in Derby.
I've seen them in quite a few car parts shops.0
